Use them together or on their own
As already mentioned, when you purchase an Enterprise Subscription, you're activating specific features in the NoMachine software along with support services from our dedicated Support Team. If you decide to publish your Enterprise host on NoMachine Network to let users connect over the Network service, users will require a Network Subscription. Users connecting to the remote Enterprise host will still be able to reach it using its IP address or hostname just by using any NoMachine client software on their device, or by using their local browser. Connecting over IP costs nothing for the users that wish to connect and does not require the user to have a NoMachine account nor Network Subscription.

Some typical examples:

1) A professional user that wants to remotely access their home or work computer installs Enterprise Desktop for the additional features. They would would like to reach that Enterprise Desktop computer over the Internet using NoMachine Network. In that case, an Enterprise Desktop Subscription (for the computer they want to access) AND a Network Subscription (for the user) are required.

2) A user that wants to access their home computer or work computer whilst travelling and is happy with the NoMachine Personal Edition installed on the target computer. Purchasing a Network Subscription will allow them to safely access their computer over the Internet using the Network service.

3) A company that has multiple users working from home needs to provide access to multiple Linux desktops all running on the same server(s). The NoMachine software they have chosen is Terminal Server for Linux. The target machines the users connect to all require NoMachine Terminal Server Subscriptions (or other subscriptions from the Enterprise family). Users will connect using only the IP address of the Linux servers, so no user requires a Network Subscription.

4) A NoMachine user requires some IT assistance on their computer where there is NoMachine installed. A relative or colleague offers to help but to remote into the machine requires some network reconfigurations which are not possible. Connecting over NoMachine Network is therefore the solution. The relative/colleague installs any of the NoMachine client applications and acquires a Network Subscription to connect. The user who requires assistance can have an Enterprise version installed.
